A minimal and beautiful app to quickly find and copy universal symbols and their HTML codes. --Symbol Library------- • ISO-8859-1 • Reserved Characters: &, ', "", etc. • ISO 8859-1 Symbols: ¡, §, ¼, etc. • ISO 8859-1 Characters: Æ, Ã, etc. • HTML Symbols • Math Symbols: ∑, ∫, ⊕, etc. • Greek Symbols: Ψ, θ, etc. • Other Entities: ‰, ™, œ, etc. • Special Symbols • ⌘, ↩, ⌥, etc. --Equation Editor------- An equation editor can be found on the top of the table view. You can copy multiple symbols and they are added to the editor in order. You can also edit the equation using a keyboard, which also lets you easily copy it! Thus, you can compose entire equations in 'Simbol' and then copy them for use in another app. This doesn't take away your ability to copy individual symbols. When you tap the 'Copy' buttons in detail views, you get that symbol on your clipboard, in addition to it being added to the equation editor. :)

Cottix turns your vibe-coded web apps into proper mobile tools — with persistent storage, offline support, and real-time collaboration. If you build with Lovable, Bolt, Claude, v0, or any AI tool, you know the problem: your app lives in a browser tab, loses data when the page reloads, and has no place on a home screen. Cottix fixes that. INSTALL ANY WEB APP IN SECONDS Paste a URL or drop an HTML file — Cottix downloads it, wraps it, and puts it on your home screen. Your localStorage data is saved to a real SQLite database, so nothing gets wiped. DATA THAT ACTUALLY PERSISTS Every write your app makes to localStorage is silently intercepted and stored on-device. Close the app, restart your phone, come back a week later — your data is exactly where you left it. COLLABORATE IN REAL TIME Share any app with a team using an invite code. All members see the same live data. Changes sync across devices within seconds via a built-in 3-way merge engine — no backend needed. SECURE API KEYS, ON DEVICE Store OpenAI, Anthropic, or any API key in your device keychain. Your apps can make authenticated API calls without ever exposing the key in code. WORKS WITH ANY WEB APP If it runs in a browser and uses localStorage, it works in Cottix. React, Vue, vanilla JS, Svelte — no changes required. BUILT FOR BUILDERS Cottix is for the people building tools with AI assistants and wanting them to feel real on mobile. No SDK, no config, no deploy pipeline. Free plan includes 5 apps. Upgrade for unlimited apps and collaboration. Terms of Use: https://cottix.co/terms Privacy Policy: https://cottix.co/privacy

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Simbol at none against Cottix's 4. Simbol also leads on iOS requirement (7.0 vs 15.1). Cottix's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
